Single-bay 2.5-inch SATA enclosure

This aluminum case turns one 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB 3.0 drive. It targets users who need a simple way to access bare drives for backup, recovery or data migration without installing them inside a computer.

Bundled AC adapter and USB 3.0 cable

The included 12V2A power supply and USB 3.0 cable let the enclosure run immediately on any desktop or laptop. No extra accessories or drivers are required for plug-and-play operation on Windows 2000 through 10, Mac OS 9.0 or above and Linux.

SATA III interface with UASP support

The ASM1153E bridge chip supports SATA III speeds up to 6 Gbps and the UASP protocol on Windows 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS 9.0 or above. UASP acceleration only benefits SSDs and requires host support; mechanical drives and older USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports fall back to standard bulk endpoints.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 V 2 A power adapter need replacement after long-term use?

The enclosure ships with a 12 V 2 A AC adapter; it is the only external power component and can be swapped for another 12 V 2 A unit if it ever fails.

Does the 4 TB per bay limit or the USB 3.0 6 Gbps link become the bottleneck first during sustained transfers?

The USB 3.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 6 Gbps, so the interface limit is reached before the 4 TB drive capacity becomes a factor.

How hot or loud does the aluminum case get when running all day without a fan?

The fanless aluminum body acts as a passive heatsink; it stays warm but silent during continuous operation.
